BED WARMER Filed Sept. 16. 1929 INVENTOR ATTORNEY .WITNESS Patented July 14, 1931 UNITED STATES VERNE VICTOR LONG, OF 'IORRINGTON, WYOMING BED WARMER Application led September 16, 1939.

The present invention contemplates the provision of a bed warming device, which is very simple in construction, can be manufactured, sold and used at a nominal cost,

and without any danger of injury to the user.

The nature and advantages of the inven4 tion will be better understood when the following detail description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this application like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a sectional View through the device.

Figure 2 is a view showing the dei/ice arranged in a suitable sack or container'.

The device forming the subject matter of the present invention comprises a casing which may be of any suitable material and also vary in size and cross sectional contour without departing from the spirit of the invention. However, the casing is preferably constructed of wood as the latter is a slow conductor of heat, and makes it impossible to inflict flesh burns, as in case of the use of metal or some other similar material. rlhe casing is preferably made in two sections 10 and 11 respectively, which are threaded or otherwise suitably joined together so that they can be readily assembled or disassembled as the occasion may require. Each section is lined with asbestos or other similar material indicated at 12, while the section 10 is provided with a central opening 13 at one end thereof.

An electric light socket 14 is arranged within the casing, and accommodates an electric light bulb 15, the electric cord being indicated at 16. One end of the cord is provided with the usual plug 17, while the cord within the casing is knotted as at 18 to relieve the socket 14 of strain where it is associated with the cord. The component parts of the device can be readily assembled or disassembled as the occasion may require,

Serial N0. 392,977.

and when in use, it is practically impossible to receive flesh burns or shocks. If desired the casing 10 can be arranged in a sack or casing 19 provided with draw strings 20 at each end, this casing constituting a covering for the device which not only adds to the appearance but also to the comfort of the user. T he entire device is extremely simple in construction, and can be manufactured and sold at a nominal cost, while it also can be used for the purpose intended at a minimum expense.

nWhile it is believed that from the foregoing description the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily understood, I desire to have it known that I do not limit myself to what is herein illustrated and described and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

lVha-t I claim is A device of the character described comprising a wood casing of cylindrical contour, including two sections adapted t0 be threadedly connected together, and asbestos lining' for each section, one of the sections having a central opening in the end thereof, an electric light socket and bulb slidably arranged within the casing, with the bulb projecting beyond the open end of said section, whereby it can be conveniently removed from the socket when desired and an electric cord leading from the socket and passed through said opening, said cord being knotted within the casing adjacent said opening to relieve the socket of strain where it is connected with the cord.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.

VERNE VICTOR LONG.
